Natural Lip Balm Recipe

Why do you need a natural lip balm recipe? Because a DIY balm is ridiculously easy to make, affordable, and super good for your lips. You’re probably finding that your pout needs extra moisture during winter months. Or maybe your lips are drying out with too much AC during the summer heat. I certainly do! At the same time, I don’t want my mouth to get assaulted by the chemical overload of commercial lip balms and lipsticks. 

I came accross a study of 25 commercialy available lip balms, all of which were widely available also to youngest clients, children. The results were staggering.

Should we be concerned about lead in lip balms? This study revealed lead was present in 100% of the 25 samples.

So I’m making a natural, clean, toxin-free, anti-aging lip treatment that assures optimum hydration with no skin irritation. For maximum benefits, I exfoliate my lips occasionally (a couple of times a week should be plenty) but don’t do it on chapped lips, wait until they heal, and then exfoliate. Go here for an easy DIY sugar lip scrub.

A creamy and yummy DIY natural lip balm is super easy to make, and your pout will thank you for it. It takes only a few ingredients and it’s fully customizable in terms of oils you can you and micas to add just a touch of color and/or shimmer.

DIY Natural Lip Balm Recipe

Here is my recipe for one 1 oz tin of lip balm:

  • 2tsp Avocado Oil
  • 1tsp Castor Oil
  • 1 TBS Shea or Cocoa Butter
  • 2 tsp Beeswax (or find Carnuba Wax for a vegan option)
  • 1/8 tsp of Mica (pinkish or reddish) if you want to make it tinted
  • Optional: 10 drops of essential oil of choice. My go-to is a “creamsicle mix of orange, ylang ylang, and vanilla (links below)

Melt the first three ingredients in a double boiler or in microwave (short intervals). When fully melted start adding the color (if using) and add the essential oils for scent. Pour into the container and left out on the counter for a few hours to solidify. That’s it!

Why avocado oil?

Rich in fatty acids, avocado oil is excellent for any skin hydration.  Avocado oil has also high amounts of vitamins A, C, and E will rejuvenate dry skin on the lips.

Why castor oil?

Not only is it a great moisturizer, but it also imparts a wonderful sheen to the lips.

Why Shea butter?

Shea butter is a superior hydrator that is especially good at penetrating the skin and contains 60% fat, making it highly emollient.

Why beeswax?

Made by bees to protect their homes and eggs, real and unadulterated beeswax is organic, hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, making it a great choice for a solidifying addition to skin products. 

Enjoy!

Mid-morning ritual. A steaming bowl of @matchakari Mid-morning ritual. A steaming bowl of @matchakari 🍵 

Being a cancer survivor, I am always looking for ways to up my antioxidant intake and to load up on anti inflammatory and anti tumor foods and drinks. Matcha is rich in catechins, a class of plant compounds in tea that act as natural antioxidants. Ecgc which is one of these catechins is found at over 130 times higher concentrations in matcha than in other green teas! Ecgc is known to play a major role in suppressing angiogenesis which is a process of forming new blood vessels -great when you’re injured and need that extra blood supply but terrible when you might have cancer cells floating around that would love to take hold and make a tumor. They can’t do it unless they get a blood supply. This is where matcha is so important as cancer reoccurrence preventative medicine (yes, I see it as medicine). So, here is looking at you kid! Bottoms up! 🍵

Both are problematic: ignorant or evil. This came to mind after this crazy week. When 90% of one political party supports the big lie about “stolen election”, is it dumb or evil? Crazy times we live in.

It’s 🥶 outside, the 🥵 is blasting inside. It’s 🥶 outside, the 🥵 is blasting inside. All of this can do a number on your skin. Dry, flaky, sometimes even with a rash. Make sure to moisturize right after a shower or bath (and keep that shower short and not too hot). Use a heavier moisturizer than in the summer like these Shea butter body melts.

I’m always on the lookout for a good supplement. I’m always on the lookout for a good supplement. When this Bear Extracts CBD oil crossed my path I definitely wanted to try. Anti-inflammatory properties of cbd oil are well known, it can also help with pain and insomnia. That last point is particularly important for me as I am still struggling to find that holy grail for my sleep issues.
 
I used this @cbdbearx oil for several nights and I am happy to report that I slept much better. Less worrisome mind racing and no anxiety. What a relief! I pair it with a CBD/magnesium topical oil for my legs and my restless leg syndrome is almost gone. 
How does it go down? Easy! One dropper full is the dose. It has a faint taste of vanilla which is very pleasant. Personally, I’m not a fan of drinking oil so I have to chase it with another drink. 

If you’re suffering from anxiety, restlessness, sleep disturbances or just want a general anti inflammatory boost, try them. Completely natural, developed by pharmacists, free of psychotropic THC. You can use my coupon OKO20 for 20 percent off your order. Link to Bear Extracts in my bio.
